I just noticed that I have two SoundBlaster 16 PCI cards in their original boxes, but apparently they don't approach the AdLib's level of scarcity. (Similar items are selling on eBay for about $40.)

Wasn't the PCI version based on a different chip, and not fully compatible? I could be misremembering.
